French President:
Coordination meeting this morning with President Trump, President Zelensky, and my European partners following the meeting between President Trump and President Putin in Alaska.

Following this meeting, we continued discussions with my European counterparts. We are aligned in stating:

→ that it is essential to continue supporting Ukraine and exerting pressure on Russia as long as its war of aggression continues and a solid and lasting peace respecting Ukraine's rights has not been achieved;

→ that any lasting peace must be accompanied by unwavering security guarantees. In this regard, I welcome the United States' willingness to contribute. We will work with them and with all our partners in the Coalition of the Willing, with whom we will meet again soon, to make concrete progress. It will also be essential to learn all the lessons of the past 30 years, and in particular Russia's well-established propensity to fail to keep its own commitments.

We will continue to work closely with President Trump and President Zelensky to ensure that our interests are preserved in a spirit of unity and responsibility.

France continues to stand resolutely by Ukraine's side.
 
NEW: The peace terms that Vladimir Putin laid out in his summit with President Trump included that Ukraine withdraw entirely from two of its eastern regions, two sources briefed on the call told.

Putin is demanding that Ukraine withdraw troops from the unoccupied part of the Donetsk region as a condition for freezing the war. He voiced the corresponding demand to Trump during a meeting in Alaska, the Financial Times and Reuters reported, citing sources.

It is noted that the US president conveyed these demands to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders during a telephone conversation on Saturday. Zelensky refused to withdraw Ukrainian troops from Donbas.

In addition, as The New York Times writes, citing sources, during a conversation with Trump in Alaska, Putin insisted on guarantees of granting the Russian language official status in Ukraine and security guarantees for Russian Orthodox churches.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has just confirmed he will attend the talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump at the White House.

He will be joining a host of other European officials traveling to Washington tomorrow, as we’ve been reporting.

 
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ahead of Zelensky's visit to the White House: "In order for the war to end, there are things that Russia and Ukraine will not accept. The US may not be able to create the conditions for an end to the war in Ukraine. If it appears that there is no progress, we will apply sanctions, but then the talks will immediately cease and the end of the war will be further away".
 
Witkoff to CNN: The exchange of territory between Russia and Ukraine is essential to the agreement, and we were unable to discuss it with Putin in Alaska.

Witkoff added that moscow "made concessions on five regions in Ukraine".

According to him, russia may enshrine in legislation "an obligation not to encroach on other territories" and not to attack EU countries after the peace agreement is codified.
